Well, I'm in Waunakee!

I was thinking the Bristol Ren Fair was about as close to Thief as I would be likely to get.

Ha!

I deliver bread there for my job. I love the Renaissance Fair! I've yet to dress up though. :p

I have developed my own idea based around Thief.

basically, the game consists of no less than 4 players, 1 of which is the Thief, or up to 4 if the amount of players permits. its played in some abandoned building or something where you most likely WONT get arrested for trespassing at night.

the rules are as follows:

1) No hitting below the belt (no nut shots)
2) No hard hitting (not necessary)
3) To KO a guard, sneak up from behind and whack em across the head, ambushes are ok as well.
4) KO'ed guards remain where they fall unless the Thief desires to move them, whereby the guard will follow the Thief quietly to the ddrop location and lie down there.
5) KO'ed guards must lie down for a count of 125 before becoming active again. And count normally.
6) KO'ed guards can NOT converse with active guards.
7) Active guards can give info to other active guards on the possible location of the Thief and any other info.
8) Games will go on until either the Thief is caught, completes all objectives, or gives up.
9) The guards will set up the loot around the location.
10) The Thief(s) is(are) determined by a die roll (or RNG), whomever's number it hits is(are) designated the Thief(s).

sounds good eh? i just wish i lived near some abandoned buldings (intentionally mispelled), or at least more than i currently do. i got an abandoned Boys' Club baseball field nearby, but its kinda small, and the building's locks are unfortunately locked.

we need a gathering point to play this together, that would kick ASS. have a bunch of taffers running around an old abandoned bulding somewhere trying not to get "arrested". i wonder how many true Thief fans who would be willing to do something like this live in AR (where i live), cuz if i could gather em up, we could go to some old abandoned warehouse or something somewhere and play. cuz im bored as hell sitting around the house with almost NOTHING to do.

for added fun, if you have enough people you could have zombies and other undead in the basement. zombies would say nothing (except make zombie noises), have to walk slowly, and have to grab on to their victim for 10 seconds before they can make a "kill". kills lie down for 125 seconds before getting up... as zombies. while zombies are slow, they can make up for it with suprise attacks. and while a guard or thief could concievably bring one down, they would get back up after 30 seconds.

haunts could operate in the same way as guards, except that they are unable to pass information to each other. in addition, haunts should only be played by the athletic types- the ones who can move fast. fat slow guards like me stay upstairs :)

you could start out with one or two of each, stick 'em in the basement, and put some especially valuable loot down there.

oh, and the undead would be restricted to the basement. much as i liked letting the haunts out to wreak havoc in the mechanist church in TMA, it would kind of ruin the game.

Oh! And another thing. I wonder if there's a woman who will be willing to wear nothing but green body paint and leaves to play Victoria? :cheeky:

Just a passing thought
